Preston author publishes third educational book

By Tim Aldred

08 Nov 2021

Preston-based wellbeing coach Ross McWilliam has published his third book aimed at helping young people to get the most out of their learning journey.

The Amazing Adventures of the Fabulous Alex, Roxy and Tiger sees the title characters embark upon a quest to help others find their potential in life, stop ecological disasters, end prejudices and injustices, and ultimately save the world from a potential disaster.

The book also contains six one-minute videos that show readers how to develop themselves. Each video provides the key skills needed to find success, along with a measurement tool that will help children and adults identify strengths and areas for improvement.

Ross is a freelance speaker and mindset author with more than 30 years of experience empowering people in business, education and sport. 

He has worked with more than 1,500 schools and businesses and has a real passion for helping to develop and sustain professionals. He is an accredited Adult and Youth Mental Health Trainer with MHFA.

Ross said: "This is my third book in which I write about how we can grow and support young people and their families. My books are in memory of my late parents, and young niece Danni, and are my attempt to not only make them proud, but to also honour their legacy of being kind and helping others.”

The Amazing Adventures of the Fabulous Alex, Roxy and Tiger can be bought from Amazon, Waterstones and cuppajourney.com where the book can be bought for half-price during November using the discount code CKOFF50.
